Young opener Shubham Rohilla was keeping Haryana in the hunt with an unbeaten 75, with seven hits to the fence, when play was stopped because of insufficient light.
Yuzvendra Chahal, who captured three wickets in the Andhra second innings with his leg spin, was the other not out batsman on 12.
Haryana require 233 more runs to win with seven wickets in hand.
Haryana, who conceded a lead of 150 in the first innings, did well on the field today as Chahal (3/51), captain Mohit Sharma (3/37) and Harshal Patel (2/33) played key roles in bundling Andhra out for 220 in the second innings.
In the second innings Haryana, who were shot out for a paltry 103 in the first innings, were struggling at 48 for two when 18-year-old Rohtak-born Rohilla, playing in only his fifth first-class match, repaired the damage by stitching a stand of 61 for the third wicket with Rajat Paliwal (25).
Although Paliwal departed before close, Rohilla remained unbeaten after facing 137 balls to carry forward Haryana's attempt for a victory on the final day tomorrow.
Brief scores:
Andhra: 253 & 220 (Hanuma Vihari 50, Siva Kumar 42; Mohit Sharma 3/37, Yuzvendra Chahal 3/51).
